Dr. Ian Taylor serves as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Aerospace Engineering within the School of Engineering at the University of Glasgow. His academic profile features active research in computational aerodynamics with ongoing publications through 2019 and current institutional contact details including office location (Room 705, James Watt South Building) and telephone (0141 330 8646).
Taylor's research centers on computational fluid dynamics with specialized expertise in turbulence modeling, scramjet propulsion systems, and bluff body aerodynamics. His work bridges fundamental fluid mechanics with practical applications in wind engineering and hypersonic propulsion. Key focus areas include large eddy simulation techniques, eddy dissipation modeling for combustion, and discrete vortex methods for unsteady flow prediction around complex geometries.
Analysis of his publication record reveals an evolution from foundational work on discrete vortex methods (1996-1998) toward contemporary research in scramjet combustion and complex turbulent flows (2015-2019). His most significant contributions involve adapting turbulence models for hydrogen-fueled scramjets and simulating challenging flow phenomena like downburst events and pulsed impinging jets.
Taylor maintains active research collaborations with international colleagues including Marco Fossati, Rowan Gollan, and Matthew Haines across institutions in the UK, Netherlands, and Australia. His work appears in leading journals such as the Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics and Aeronautical Journal, alongside presentations at major conferences including the International Astronautical Congress and AIAA Space Planes conferences.
